Man Utd fullback Evra: Finishing second feels strange

Patrice Evra admits some frustration seeing Manchester United finish second to Chelsea in this season's Premiership.

Naturally he'd much prefer to be looking at a fourth consecutive league title as his latest success.

"It was very painful at half-time when I knew that Chelsea were winning 3-0. It's hard {to take], it's a sad day today," Evra told MUTV.

"I can say congratulations to all my team-mates because it was not easy this year and to finish second is good.

"But it's not my mentality. I've always said that if I don't finish first in the league, I will feel like I didn't do my job very well for Man United. When you play for Man United, you must always win. I've been here four years and this is my first [full] year when I haven't won the league. I feel strange. Today is a very, very sad day for me."
